A RHONDDA company rescuing unwanted carpet tiles from landfill sites has expanded into bigger premises.

Cleanstream Carpets, which has been operating out of a Cardiff office and Ferndale warehouse for the past two years, has relocated to a new unit in Porth, thanks to support from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT).

The firm now stocks more than 6,000m sq of good quality factory end-of-line and reused tiles at its new Rheola Industrial Estate warehouse in Porth.

Managing Director Ellen Petts said: “An estimated 65% of the 580,000 tonnes of flooring waste ending up in landfill each year is carpet. So far this year, we’ve rescued and sold more than 8,000m sq of carpet tiles.”
